to unhide: from the launcher, bring down the application drop down menu, select the List of all Apps, and then click on the app you want. you should have an option to unhide

dude...this patch ROCKS! i had to uninstall a bunch of patches to get this to work (prevent PDF removal, unhide dev mode, hide nascar, 4x4, and a few others, but now it works great! I also see a new "Phone Pref" icon...is that something that the patch added? if so, i love it!

Do you have a donation link, because this is totally deserving of a little monetary thank you! (nevermind, i see it in your signature)

So what I am going to try with the spacing is as follows (grid size / icon size):

small / small : 3x5
small / medium: 3x5
small / large: 3x4

medium / small: 4x5
medium / medium: 4x5
meidum / large: 4x4

large / small: 5x5
large / medium: 5x5
large / large: 5x4

So that those amount of full rows would fit when QL hidden.

Sconix can you make it a preference to toggle old named apps to show up in universal search or not, that way some can only search apps under renamed name or some can search under both please, thank you

I had .45 installed, but when trying to update to .47, it fails.... and I can't figure out what might be in conflict now, as I removed all other launcher patches to get .45 installed, in the first place.

I noticed the post above to remove unhide developer mode icon, and after doing so and resetting, .45 was gone as well(!), and .47 won't install either.

I only had 45 for a day, but I really loved it, but now it's gone as well. Why would .45 have been removed when removing the unhide dev mode icon?

Anyone have any ideas what could be conflicting?

Run EPI then do a luna restart. Then just went bac to preware and installed new patch. Had a update problem as well.

I've got 50 of the darn things installed, I'd be here all day listing them. I've read through all the posts and had removed enough to get .45 installed, but when I tried to update to .47 - no joy. (never even saw .46 - was at work),

Then I saw the post about having to remove the Unhide Dev Mode Icon, so I did, and reset - but when the phone re-booted, and I loaded Preware again, .45 had been removed, and didn't show up under "updated packages" - it was back in Available Packages under today's patches, tried to install it - no joy. ....2 of 21 hunks failed...

When I have a couple of hours to kill, I'll remove each patch and try again to get .47 installed. I just have to get back to work now... no time to play detective. ;-( I't would be great if there was a list of all the conflicting patches for this wonderous "uber-patch" ;-)

Love the idea of this and hope I can get it installed (again) someday.

I have already made a patch for my own Pre that modifies sconix' patch to be what I like. I will wait to see his tweaks to do anything else, but like he said it is very easy to mess around with.

I will release a patch tomorrow that allows the app-launcher scrim to be modified in the /media/internal directory. Now that there is mostly one unified patch for all grid settings it will be easy to make nice scrims for the launcher that fit with the icon spacing.

sconix is there any way to remove the arrows at the bottom of the page?

The page indicators will toggle all bottom indicators away.

I had a little difficulty installing but eventually found that the 'Enable USB Passthrough' patch conflicts with this one, so I thought I'd drop a line to mention that to anyone who is having difficulties.

thanks for trying to help

Do you have any topbar patches? If you go into usb mode and look at the webos patches log it will tell you where it is failing and will help narrow it down.
